    Lorde didn’t log off entirely; people who live under rocks aren’t nearly so well-versed in Antonoff discourse. Did you see her putting away Hot Ones like they’re chicken nuggets? She’s been reading about the Sacklers (“Born in the year of OxyContin”) and watching Tarantino (“Once upon a time in Hollywood…”). She’s subscribing to trendy newsletters and checking her finsta, which maybe helps explain the album’s bent towards Y2K vibes and wellness fads.

    this is really the only thing i'm confused by in the pitchfork review. what's with a lot of people, fans and critics alike, taking issue with her comments on detachment? it's so bizarre to say that this girl is somehow fronting about her lifestyle change. because she watched and referenced a Tarantino movie? someone help...

    The idea that "Once upon a time in Hollywood" isn't something you can write without having heard of the Tarantino movie is also quite, uhm, hilarious.

    It's all about how her fairy tale youth in Hollywood wasn't a fairy tale at all, "once upon a time" is just a normal thing people say in that context.

    Yeah, these media f*ckers who tweet all day about how Twitter is toxic and who'll make fun of you for actually leaving the damn thing. I'll never get it.

    Don't know what’s more boring, this or Happier Than Ever. At least Lana's COTCC album had great songs.

    I listened to HTE right after Solar Power coincidentally and I’m gonna be honest I can’t decide which is more boring either

    It's a chill/vibey album, will be nice to throw this on to relax to. I might catch some flack for this but it reminds me of Blonde in some ways? In terms of subject matter and instrumentation. Although I'm not putting this on the level of Blonde

    As of right now though, I place it under Melodrama and Pure Heroine

    It’s weird to me that pop after getting eclipsed by rap decided to go in an acoustic/folk direction instead of doubling down on cool unique production

    I wondered about this too but it’s really just

    “the blacks won you guys just give it up. No attempt at innovation is gonna stop rap’s dominance anyhow so let’s just go back to our traditional white music”
